_Principles of English Etymology, First Series_ (second edition,
1892), p. 44, I gave a list of words selected from these glosses, in
order to show how much nearer they stand, as a rule, to modern English
than do the corresponding Anglo-Saxon forms. I here repeat this list,
as it is very instructive. The references, such as "5. 15," are to the
chapters and verses of St Matthew's Gospel, as printed in my edition
of _The Holy Gospels, in Anglo-Saxon, Northumbrian, and Old Mercian
Versions, synoptically arranged_ (Cambridge, 1871-87). The first
column below gives the Modern English form, the second the Old Mercian
form (with references), and the third the Anglo-Saxon or Wessex form:
